Correct answer: A. RQPS
Explanation:
Part R: “heard the hue and cry at midnight”
Action:
The sentence begins with “heard the hue and cry at midnight.” This part introduces the main action, where the subject hears something — in this case, the “hue and cry” at a specific time, “midnight.”
Rule: In a sequence of events, actions are often introduced before emotions or reactions to them. The event of hearing the cry is the initial action.
Part Q: “he was nervous and”
Emotion or Reaction:
Next, we describe the subject’s emotional state. After hearing the cry, the subject “was nervous” and this leads to his reaction to the situation.
Rule: After introducing the action, it’s logical to follow with the emotional or physical response to that action. Here, hearing the cry causes nervousness.
Part P: “did not know”
State of Uncertainty:
After stating the emotion, we describe the subject’s uncertainty about how to respond. The subject “did not know” how to handle the situation.
Rule: After describing the emotional reaction, it’s natural to follow up with what the subject is unsure about or what they don’t know. This step deepens the context of nervousness.
Part S: “what to do”
Conclusion or Lack of Resolution:
Finally, we conclude with what the subject is unsure about — “what to do.” This shows the subject’s confusion or lack of a clear course of action.
Rule: The phrase “what to do” directly follows “did not know,” completing the thought about the subject’s uncertainty.

Additional Notes:
• The sequence RQPS logically builds the sentence, starting with the action (hearing the hue and cry), followed by the emotional response (nervousness), the uncertainty (not knowing), and finally, the confusion about what to do.
• The other options do not follow the logical order of events and emotions.

Correct answer: D. QPRS
Explanation:
Starting with “Q”:
Use of contrast
The phrase “although a great scientist” introduces a contrast to the subject of the sentence. The conjunction “although” is used to introduce a subordinate clause that contrasts the main clause. The sentence is stating that despite being a great scientist, Einstein had a weakness. So, Q should be the first part, because it introduces this contrast.
Example:
“Although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic.”
Next, use “P” (“Einstein was”):
Subject and verb agreement
After introducing the contrast with “although”, the main subject (“Einstein”) and verb (“was”) need to follow. This is a standard sentence structure where the subject (“Einstein”) comes first, followed by the verb (“was”). So, P follows Q.
Example:
“Although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic.”
Then, use “R” (“weak in arithmetic”):
Adjective clause to describe subject
The clause “weak in arithmetic” is an adjective phrase that describes Einstein. The adjective (“weak”) is followed by a prepositional phrase (“in arithmetic”) to describe the nature of his weakness. This is the direct description of the subject “Einstein”, and it logically follows the verb (“was”).
Example:
“Although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic.”
Finally, use “S” (“right from his school days”):
Time phrase
The phrase “right from his school days” serves as a temporal reference indicating when the weakness started. Time references usually come at the end of the sentence to complete the thought, indicating the period of time when the condition was true.
Example:
“Although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic right from his school days.”
Final Sentence:
“It has been established that although a great scientist, Einstein was weak in arithmetic right from his school days.”

Correct answer: C. PSRQ
Explanation:
Part P: “it struck me”
Main Action:
The sentence begins with “it struck me,” which is the main action of the sentence. This introduces the idea that something occurred to the speaker.
Rule: In English, the phrase “it struck me” often sets up an idea or realization and is commonly used to begin an insightful or sudden realization.
Part S: “how eminently”
Introduction to the Realization:
After the action, we add “how eminently”, which begins the description of the realization the speaker had.
Rule: After introducing the action of realizing or being struck by something, it’s common to follow with an adverbial phrase like “how eminently” to describe the nature or intensity of the realization.
Part R: “suitable it was”
Main Realization:
Next, we describe what was realized — “suitable it was.” This part completes the speaker’s thought, explaining the nature of what was “eminently” realized.
Rule: After setting up the description with “how eminently”, the subject “it” and the verb “was” follow in the clause, making the realization clear.
Part Q: “of course”
Conclusion/Confirmation:
Finally, “of course” is added to emphasize the obviousness of the realization. It confirms that what the speaker realized was indeed expected or self-evident.
Rule: The phrase “of course” is often used at the end of a sentence to reinforce the naturalness or obviousness of the realization.
Additional Notes:
• The sequence PSRQ logically builds the sentence, starting with the realization, describing how obvious or intense it was, explaining the content of the realization, and concluding with the phrase “of course” to confirm it.
• The other options do not maintain the correct flow of the sentence and disrupt its meaning.

Correct answer: B. PSRQ
Explanation:
Part P: “posh, air-conditioned”
Adjective Phrase:
The sentence starts with “posh, air-conditioned,” which describes the rooms being advertised. These adjectives give the reader an impression of the quality and comfort of the rooms.
Rule: In English, adjectives that describe a noun (in this case, “rooms”) generally appear at the beginning of the sentence to set the context for what is being described.
Part S: “fully furnished rooms”
Noun Phrase:
After the adjectives, we complete the description by specifying what exactly is being advertised: “fully furnished rooms.”
Rule: After the adjectives, the noun or object being described follows. Here, “rooms” is the object being described as posh, air-conditioned, and fully furnished.
Part R: “are available for”
Verb Phrase:
Next, we explain that these rooms are “available for” something, which introduces the purpose or offer of the rooms.
Rule: After describing the object, it’s standard to describe the action or state. The verb phrase “are available for” explains the availability of the rooms.
Part Q: “gentleman of taste”
Recipient or Target Audience:
Finally, we specify the target audience for the advertisement: “gentleman of taste.” This completes the thought by clarifying who the rooms are meant for.
Rule: After explaining the availability and purpose of the offer, it’s common to finish with who the offer is intended for.

Part Q: “the Eskimos and Red Indians”
Subject (Noun Phrase):
The sentence starts by introducing the subject, which is “the Eskimos and Red Indians”. This is the noun phrase that tells us who is performing the action in the sentence.
Rule: In English, the subject usually comes at the beginning of the sentence to provide clarity about who or what is involved in the action.

Part P: “have managed to catch”
Verb Phrase (Action):
After introducing the subject, we proceed with the verb phrase that explains the action. Here, “have managed to catch” describes what the Eskimos and Red Indians have done.

Direct Object (Noun Phrase):
This part specifies what was caught by the subject. The direct object of the action (“catch”) is “a few specimens of this aquatic animal”, explaining what exactly was caught.
Rule: In a typical sentence structure, the direct object follows the verb and completes the thought by telling us what the subject is acting upon.

Part R:“by a very difficult method”
Prepositional Phrase (Manner/Method):
The prepositional phrase “by a very difficult method” explains how the action was performed. It gives more detail on the manner in which the specimens were caught.
Rule: After the direct object, a prepositional phrase can be added to explain how, where, or when the action was done.

Final Sentence:
“Since the beginning of history, the Eskimos and Red Indians have managed to catch a few specimens of this aquatic animal by a very difficult method.”

Explanation:
Part R: “who had come to Calcutta”
Subject Introduction:
The sentence starts with “A French woman” (the subject), and “who had come to Calcutta” describes the French woman’s background, providing important context about where she was.
Rule: When describing a subject, we often add additional information about where they are from or what they are doing, which sets the context for the rest of the sentence.
Part P: “committed suicide”
Main Action:
Next, we describe the main action the woman took, which is “committed suicide.”
Rule: After introducing the subject and providing context, we move on to explain what the subject did.
Part S: “by jumping from the first floor balcony of the hotel”
Following the action of committing suicide, “by jumping from the first floor balcony of the hotel” explains how she committed suicide.
Rule: After explaining the main action, it’s typical to provide further details about how the action was carried out. In this case, the method of suicide is described.
Part Q: “where she had put up”
Location Context:
Finally, “where she had put up” clarifies the location of the incident, giving more information about where the event took place (the hotel).
Rule: After describing the action and method, it’s often helpful to specify the location to provide a full understanding of the event.

Final Sentence: A French woman who had come to Calcutta committed suicide by jumping from the first floor balcony of the hotel where she had put up.

Correct Answer: RSPQ
Explanation:
Part R: “depends upon a sufficiently even balance of political power”
Main Verb Phrase:
The sentence starts by explaining what the national unity depends on — the balance of political power. This is the core action of the sentence, making it the first part.
Rule: In a sentence, the main subject-verb phrase typically follows the introductory clause. Here, the subject “national unity” is being discussed, so we explain what it depends on first.

Part S: “against a revolutionary opposition that is irreconcilably opposed to it”
Opposition Phrase:
The phrase “against a revolutionary opposition” follows after explaining the balance of political power because it describes the threat or opposition that would arise if the balance is not maintained.
Rule: After describing the condition or state (the balance of power), we typically introduce the opposition or consequence that would occur in the absence of the condition.

Part P: “to make it impracticable”
Purpose Clause:
After setting up the opposition, we need to explain why the balance of power is needed — to make it impracticable for an arbitrary administration to arise. This purpose phrase follows after discussing the opposition.
Rule: Purpose clauses often follow a description of the state or opposition to clarify the intended outcome of the action.

Part Q: “for there to be an arbitrary administration”
Condition Phrase:
Finally, the phrase “for there to be an arbitrary administration” completes the condition that the balance of power prevents. It gives the specific event that would be avoided if the balance of power were maintained.
Rule: The condition phrase typically explains what is being prevented or avoided, often coming at the end to complete the thought.

Final Sentence:
“The national unity of a free people depends upon a sufficiently even balance of political power to make it impracticable against a revolutionary opposition that is irreconcilably opposed to it for there to be an arbitrary administration.”

Part Q: “who was in the habit of weighing less”
Describing the Subject (Customer):
The sentence starts by introducing the subject, which is the customer. The phrase “who was in the habit of weighing less” describes the customer and provides additional information about the subject.
Rule: In English, we often start a sentence with a relative clause to describe the subject. Here, it describes the customer in relation to their habit of weighing less.

Part P: “did not listen to the protests of customer”
Main Verb Phrase (Action):
After describing the customer, the next logical step is to introduce the main verb or action. Here, the grocer is performing the action of not listening to the protests of the customer. This verb phrase follows the description of the customer.

Rule: A relative clause can be used to describe a relationship between the subject and the object of the action, placed after the object.

Part S: “with great audacity”
Manner (How the Action Was Done):
Finally, the phrase “with great audacity” tells us how the grocer behaved while not listening to the protests. It describes the manner in which the action was carried out.
Rule: A phrase describing the manner or method of the action typically comes at the end of the sentence, providing additional detail about how the action occurred.

Final Sentence:
“The grocer who was in the habit of weighing less did not listen to the protests of the customer whom he had cheated with great audacity.”

Part R: “as they settled down”
Action/Context Introduction:
The sentence starts with “as they settled down”, setting the stage for what the subject (they) is doing. It introduces the action of settling down in preparation for something.
Rule: The action of settling down is commonly stated first as it sets up what follows. It creates the context for the next events.
Part P: “to watch the mountain”
Purpose of the Action:
Next, we explain the purpose of their action — “to watch the mountain.” This provides the reason why they settled down.
